Gas
Gasmate offers a range of instantaneous gas water heaters using
either forced or natural draft. These are popular alternatives in certain
situations where instant hot water is required for hand basins, kitchen
prep bowls, wash troughs and bathroom wash basins. Forced draft
units are mounted externally and are suitable for both showering and
bathing, while the natural draft models can be mounted internally. Both
types use LPG for heating which is ignited by an electrical impulse
activated via a water pressure sensor triggered when a water tap is
opened. It is also a
budget-friendly way to heat water in house-
holds across South Africa.
Gas geyser positioning:
• The physical position must always be according to the manu-
facturer’s specification and protected from excess rain and wind.
• Mount it as close to the point of use as possible. It can supply hot
water within five seconds.

from 20 June - 14 July 2018.
Safety:
• High water temperature cut out when outgoing water temperature
exceeds 70˚C.
• Flue gasses temperature cut out when flue gasses are not
exiting fast enough, indicating a blockage in the airflow or the
incorrectly installed flue.
•
• Electronic ionisation probe – this detects the presence of a flame.
Kwikot Gasmate Gas Water Heater 5L - R1699
(Also available in 11L or 14L)
When there is no water flow, there will be no gas flow.
Warranty:
•
• No gas “certificate of compliance” (COC), no warranty.
• Our warranty is 2 years, based on the same principles as the
electric gas geysers.
If the installation does not comply to regulations, it must be
corrected first before the warranty call will take place.
Ventilation:
• The geyser can be installed inside a house, but the flue exhaust
needs special attention. Flue gasses will need to be ducted outside
and the room would have to be well ventilated at all times.
• These units will very quickly consume the oxygen in the room
where it is located causing the gas burner to burn incorrectly and
producing toxic carbon monoxide.
Regulations:
•
•
•
Only a LP gas installer or natural gas installer who is registered
with SAQCC, may work on a gas installation within the scope of
their license. This is required by law!
Only installations that have a gas “COC” will have a relevant
warranty.
The geyser flue should not be under or next to an openable window
or air vent into the house, but at least 300mm away from it.
